What’s your most controversial opinion? **Read OP** **Mod Note in Post #3372**

If you experience "hanger" and can't control your emotions and state it like it's some funny quirk about yourself, you're a loser.

What? It's a little bit past your meal time, oh you have to miss ONE MEAL out of the thousands you've had over your life. You can't regulate your mood and emotions because your little tummy is beginning to pang.

As if hunger wasn't the base feeling for humanity for literally thousands of years. Where a bad harvest, rationing, or a failed hunting expedition meant tough, that's it, you'll have to go without food for a bit. Then if you didn't have money to get food, you simply worked until you had enough to get bread to eat.

Grow the F up. It's a bit of hunger and if you come after me with a mood as if you have some justification because "me hungry" I will rightly rip the piss out of you about it.

You're not suffering, you're hungry, and guess what! YOU'LL BE FINE FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO

Similar could be said for most affordable food.

Women who describe themselves as mother of six etc. should get in the bin.

I'd be neutral on that choice

Wouldn't be having it all the time but do like those Tesco Chicken and Stuffing sandwiches. If I was making my own i wouldn't be putting it in it

Still pissed off that Carrols don't do the Billy roll at the counters anymore.

People should be allowed build a log cabin if council’s can’t offer them accommodation.

I'm pro free speech.

Probably has bene said before, but most Irish comedians are not actually that funny. You'll get a laugh out of them in a "a sure they're giving it a go, fair play to them" kind of way, but most of them think being funny is running off a stream of curse words while shouting into the microphone.

As an aside, there's not too much thought to comedians jokes any more. They seem to becoming more bland with every year. Some lads are good, but a lot of the really good ones are either aging (Dave Chappelle), the gimmick has worn off a bit (Jimmy Carr, Bill Bailey, Jim Jeffries), or you just have had too much of them (Frankie Boyle), but can still raise a chuckle. But at least they had some real thought to their jokes over the years, the newer generation seem too scared they'll be cancelled to properly think, or build a joke properly.

The GAA, with the money involved now, is rapidly disappearing up it's ar5e, and only for the promotion of the club championship by TG4 over the years, would have lost touch with the community aspect of their ideals. The sports, while still entertaining at times, are becoming more robotic (particularly football), while hurling has abandoned so many rules you effectively have to be a cheat to play at the highest level.

Semi-professionalism, tragically, is killing the spirit of the GAA.

You should have to pass a test to have a child. If you have no desire to raise a child, or the means to support it, then you shouldn't be having one - it's cruel and unfair on the innocent child, and they generally grow up in a hopeless environment, and the cycle continues.

In this country, you need a licence for a dog but you can fire kids out every year and then expect society to support them - more kids... more moolah, bigger gaff - sure get them diagnosed with ADHD, and boom, you're getting the DLA and more moolah (fcuk the stigma the kid receives, it's more cash).

I'm not talking about people who have kids and have fallen upon hard times or those who are willing to work but on low salaries... I'm referring to those who treat the safety net of social welfare as a lifestyle choice. The ones who let their kids run feral whilst they spend their entire day in pajamas, or slouched in front of the TV as they increase the size of their child farm.

There's a separate enoch burke thread in current affairs and I'm sure people will put you right there. But....

They haven't articulated anything. They've shouted at teachers, police and judges. They've ignored every possible legal route they had for complaining and have taken the wrong path everytime.

I personally think that there is an interesting legal discussion to be had about whether a teacher should ignore their own beliefs. If a teacher was LGBT should they be forced to say that being gay is sinful in a catholic school. Or is the converse ok? Should a teacher who thinks it's sinful be forced to say it's ok? There's a line between personal beliefs, what their job demands and their responsibilities to students.

But to be clear, Enoch Burke has not ever been articulate. Rather than pursuing the legal means at his disposal, he shouted and harassed and that's why he's suspended and in jail.

I won't reply again here because i don't want to drive a thread off topic (and I'm sure that no-one here wants this to descent into another trans thread), but if you feel up to it, I have no trouble discussing it in CA.

A friend of mines a teacher; she has the usual suspects you mention queueing at her door to assist them in having their children diagnosed labelled with Autism and other various conditions. Like you mentioned it's a potential top-up on their income but it also vindicates their shite parenting.

I don't pay my dog license. Why would I?
